Why do maple syrup bottles have small handles?

Asked by rpm_pseud0name (8208points) July 23rd, 2011

I know of the term, skeuomorph, which, as wiki puts it – “a derivative object that retains ornamental design cues to a structure that was necessary in the original.”

Why did the original maple syrup jugs have such tiny handles? Why was it necessary?
